Once a reliably-Blue State, Democrat policies have turned West Virginia completely Red - See more at: Once a reliably-Blue State, Democrat policies have turned West Virginia completely Red | Poor Richard's News
West Virginia used to vote Democrat in every Presidential election, but those days seem completely over. As Democrats in Washington continue to push policies that negatively impact the lives of virtually every West Virginian, the state has turned from Dark Blue to Bright Red.
from Washington Post:
Ordinary West Virginians used to look to Washington with something close to reverence. It was a partner in good times, a lifeline in bad ones, a powerful ally against the big corporations that came for its coal and timber. By some measures, West Virginia relies more on federal money than any other state.
But increasingly, it also has become an extreme example of the hostility that shows up in every national poll when people are asked how they feel about the federal government. Many here now speak of Washington as an enemy that threatens their economy and their way of life, that traps them into dependency.
Washingtons 100 percent against us, said M.E. Walker, a retired road builder who lives in Pence Springs in Summers County. They dont like our jobs. They dont like our attitudes. [ ]
From Franklin D. Roosevelts era until the 2000 election, it was among the most reliably Democratic states, one of only six that Jimmy Carter carried in 1980, and 10 that Michael S. Dukakis won in 1988.
But in the past decade or so, West Virginia has realigned politically with the Deep South, at least in presidential elections, historian John Alexander Williams said in a June lecture in Charleston marking the states 150th anniversary. Between the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections, a time when voters were trending strongly Democratic in other parts of the nation, 366 of official Appalachias 410 counties increased their Republican share of presidential votes.
In 2012, that trendline cut more deeply. Obama lost the seven West Virginia counties he had carried in 2008. It marked the first time that a major partys presidential candidate suffered a 55-county shutout.

The LEFT has in its budget $40 billion in new taxes awaiting the only industry that is currently propping up this shit economy.
Fuck the Liberal train wreck.
The Republican sham of lower taxes and less regulation doesn't help anyone but the richest Americans and Big Business and kill jobs and opportunity for almost everyone, especially in the middle class and poor.

Businesses shouldn't pay the same effective rate as you?
The jobs lost in the recession were lost BECAUSE of Republican Policies, lies and fallacies- Can we say Trickle Down (Voodoo!) Economics? Hell, even Dubya's Dad knew that stuff was, uh, Bunk!
Now they want you to believe them when they claim they know what's best for the rest of us?
Your ignorance of macro-economics is only exceeded by your desire to share it with the rest of us.
Jobs were lost because the economy went into recession. A twelve year old can comprehend that simple fact. Neither Bush policies, nor trickle down economics had a damn thing to do with causing the recession.
The economy went into recession because of the dry up of credit caused by the bust of the housing boom. Even you should be able to figure that out. When consumers are out of both cash and credit, they quit buying and that causes the economy to shrink.
The follow on financial crisis, also caused by the bust of the housing bubble, helped dry up credit, but the recession was already a fact by then. There was no brink to be brought back from, since TARP averted the financial crisis before Obama ever took office.
Your leaders know that you are ignorant, and feed you the BS that you regurgitate on message boards.
This administration and the federal reserve have thrown $trillions at the economy trying to prove that Keynesian economics works, and five and a half years later, the economy is still bouncing along the bottom. How long is it going to take you people to realize that you don't have a clue?
Dad is an ignorant crack addict.

Do you proof this stuff before you hit "reply"?
Jobs were "lost" because they were going overseas. The Bush administration saw this and did nothing. They could have closed the Eisenhower tax "loophole" which was meant to encourage overseas investment. But they didn't. And actually, they made things worse with tax "holidays" which actually rewarded this behavior. It also sent a signal to manufacturers that the Bush administration would not be investing in infrastructure. Which hit them in two ways. First, government contracts. Second in the actual infrastructure they use as well. So tax incentives, no contracts and crappy infrastructure? Why not go where labor is cheap.
Secondly, it was the Bush administration that CAUSED the financial mess. Lowering taxes on the wealthy and lowering interest rates created lots of cheap cash ripe for a bubble. Add in Bush starved regulators of resources, packed regulators with business "friendly" leaders and did nothing about regulatory capture. The Arthur Anderson/Enron debacle should have been a clue as to what was going on, but the Bush administration put up some pretty weak regulations after that. What? Sarbanes-Oxley? Mark to Market? You mean that corporations had to tell the "truth". Woe is me! And it did nothing about the Mortgage backed securities that would infect our whole financial sector.
Additionally Bush started two unfunded WARS. Along with a brand new spanking Department of homeland security. Anybody that knew anything knew that was going to make for a heap of trouble. THEN? He started nation building.
When the shit hit the fan AGAIN? Bush didn't believe it. He let Lehman go under. That cost ALOT of jobs in the financial sector. And when that went? Layoffs went though the street like crazy. In a panic, they put TARP together and left the shit sandwich for the next guy to clean up.
THAT'S what happened, ace.
What you believe is immaterial.Lower tax rates on individuals and corporations ,Lower energy costs through coal and natural gas ,and oil resources sitting in the ground waiting to be used. ect...... the left is against everything that would boost our economy .....WHY ??
I believe it is that lower tax rates don't increase increase economic activities and fossil fuels create pollution which, it turns out, includes co2.
I'm pretty sure that's why. Now that you ask, it occurs to me that the reason against fossil fuels include pollutants from the beginning of extraction all the way up to combustion.
That is what I've read so far.
What can you think of?
There are some great apps that help boost memory, if that's the difficulty you're up against.
It could be a cognitive problem, such as asking rhetorical questions all the time instead of just objectively learning.

That's a really well thought out.....deflection.

So according to you, businesses that use the same government provided services that you do should get a discount?

Non-Partisan Congressional Tax Report Debunks Core Conservative Economic Theory
The conclusion?
Lowering the tax rates on the wealthy and top earners in America do not appear to have any impact on the nations economic growth.
This paragraph from the report says it all
The reduction in the top tax rates appears to be uncorrelated with saving, investment and productivity growth. The top tax rates appear to have little or no relation to the size of the economic pie. However, the top tax rate reductions appear to be associated with the increasing concentration of income at the top of the income distribution.

That's not true at all.
Businesses pay a much higher rate on taxable income than individuals.

Clueless. In the 50's, corporations paid about 30-35% of all taxes, now about 10%
Google that, brainwashed one. All is NOT well.
